    Great to hear that blade is moving during daylight. Are you going to move your stand so you can get closer to where he was?

    You found where to hunt last year, now you've found the trail to hunt. It's going to happen!

    No confirmation of the morning buck? Would be a great thing if it was Blade as well, 5-6 hours hanging around up there, he's going to make a mistake, just have to be there when he does. You able to hunt a lot the next week or so?

    OK, it would seem everyone's plans are changing :evilgrin:

    My brother was going to be coming up later on Friday for Saturday's rifle opener. After bowhunting WI all fall, he bought his MN bow tag so he can come up early on Friday and bowhunt Friday night with me :tu:

    Then, my buddy Nick was able to get his plans together to come bowhunt this weekend too! He'll get here after dark Friday night and leave sometime Sunday!

    So Friday, Dad, my brother & I will be bowhunting, and come Saturday, all 4 of us will be in the woods. Nick & I with our bows and Dad & my brother with rifles.

    The pack is hungry. We MUST feed....

    Got all set up. Not as big of a view as I'd like. But I'm in a good spot.

    Here's a huge trail to my 8 o'clock.

    And another to my 3

    And further to my 5

    It has been an hour, so I think Fitz might be into some action. I have about 45 minutes to watch from this screen.....Blade, come in Blade!

    Yeah, this wind is a bit chilly. Swirling all over.

    I'm close to the trail I saw him on, but I'm up it further where two come together.

    Just got a txt that dad got off work early today and is on his way to his ladder. Trail goes by that too :tu:

    Been pretty slow. Had a pine marten come through a half hour ago.

    Only a few minutes left. Then I'll get down.

    Excited for you Fitz. You're closing the gap daily. I'm also excited for the rest of us that follow closely to your thread. We're all hoping this happens for you bud.
